Question

Find the slope/rate of the line represented by each table

Answer 1

The correct answer is 1/2 or 0.5

Pick 2 points in the table; (x = -10, y = 1) and ( x = 0, y = 6)

The Rate of Change is given by;

`\text{slope = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(6-1)/(0--10)=(5)/(10)=(1)/(2)`

The rate of change is 1/2 or 0.5

Hence, the correct answer is 1/2 or 0.5
